Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The theme of energy-based containment and vulnerability — first via the cloaked Interrupter disrupting shields (cand_evt_scene_9b690a803f10b905_2), later via Armus controlling energy around the shuttle (cand_evt_scene_a6771199a2250ee6_1) — creates a thematic bridge across episodes, emphasizing the Enterprise’s dependence on energy systems.
